He came under fire for demanding fans at his Melbourne show on Wednesday stand up 'unless y'all sitting down because y'all handicapped.'

But during the Yeezus tour in Sydney on Friday night, rapper Kanye West went a step further, stopping the whole show at Qantas Credit Union Arena when two seated fans wouldn't get to their feet - because they were in wheelchairs.

Fans at the performance confirmed the incident to Daily Mail Australia on Saturday after a series of Tweets about the moment flooded social media, with one saying 'He wanted the crowd to stand up and couldn't see why they were seated. Once it clicked that they couldn't, he started the song.'

Error: Kanye urged the crowd to dance before realising his mistake as a fan waved a protesthic limb at him

'Stand up and dance': Kanye urged two concertgoers to get up before realising they were in wheelchairs

An eyewitness told Daily Mail Australia Kanye had refused to perform until the crowd were on their feet, saying, 'I can't do this song, I can't do this show until everybody stand up.

'Imma see you if you ain't standing up, believe me, I'm very good at that.'

When the musician saw a concertgoer waving a prosthetic limb to explain why they weren't dancing, he acknowledged them, saying: 'Okay, you fine!'

But when another fan remained seated, he stopped the song Good Life, saying, 'This is the longest I've had to wait to do a song, it's unbelievable,' before sending bodyguard Pascal Duvier into the arena to check whether the person was in fact in a wheelchair- which they were.

'The crowd was also yelling that he was in a wheelchair but he waited for Pascal's confirmation,' the witness said, while others said the crowd made 'wheelchair motions' to alert the singer to his mistake.

'When he sent Pascal up there he said, 'He is in a wheelchair? It's fine!' the witness reported.

Other witnesses wrote, 'Kanye made everyone stand up.... Bereted a dude for not standing up... Stopped the whole show... Turns out the dude was in a wheelchair.'

Another said, 'Kanye accidentally yelled at a dude in a wheelchair tonight.'

The 37 year-old artist was criticised for his comments at his Melbourne show at Rod Laver Arena earlier in the week, when midway through his song Good Life he went on one of his famous rants, demanding to know why the audience wasn't on their feet.

'I can't go on with this song if there's people in here sitting down unless y'all sitting down because y'all handicapped,' he said.

'Unless y'all have handicapped parking?'

However, in previous concerts Kanye has gone out of his way to assist disabled fans, in June asking his security to give a fan in a wheelchair his microphone as a gift.

'I was in the second row,' US fan Eliiot Briones told E! News. 'There were a lot of people blocking me, and Kanye noticed. Kanye told the security guard to give me the mic.'

Although he didn't meet Kanye, he said the gesture at the show in Texas still 'means a lot to me. I don't know how to explain. It's just a humble experience.'

For his Sydney show, Kanye sported a loose vest which showcased his muscular physique as he owned the stage during throughout the night.

With a few metallic neck chains added to his ensemble, the Stronger rapper was certainly in his element for the sensational show that is part of his Yeezus tour Down Under.

And when Kim Kardashian arrived at husband Kanye West's Sydney concert on Friday, she certainly stepped out in style.

But it was the 33-year-old reality star's exit that has had people talking, after pint-sized Kim was spotted leaving her rapper beau's show at Qantas Credit Union Arena 20 minutes before the show ended.

The skirt was a more avant garde affair and no doubt a look her superstar husband Kanye would love.

A textured cream pencil skirt with a wrap of the same fabric was layered to fall unevenly around her taut waist.

After slipping into the Sydney stadium venue via the back door, Kim later posted a snap of herself backstage at Kanye's first Sydney show to Instagram - showing herself standing outside the music star's dressing room.

Like Yeezus' Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne dates, she enjoyed much of the show from the soundcheck stage between the mosh and seated area - leaving 20 minutes before its conclusion.

As he has in the past, Kanye dedicated part of his performance to his wife.

During a rendition of Runaway he asked the crowd 'how many people came here with someone they loved?' before singing 'if you love someone tonight, hold on real tight' repeatedly.

Still without a hair out of place, Kim was spotted exiting the Qantas Credit Union Arena and being guided into a car by her team of security near the end of the concert.

Talking further to Ten Eyewitness News on Friday, Kim said her little girl North was 'mesmerised' by her superstar father, as she watched him onstage for the first time in her life during his Australian tour.

'I took her out at the first show when we landed here in Australia to watch from the side,' she said about the Perth show.

'It was the first time watching her daddy perform - she was mesmerised!'

Last Friday in Perth fans came to see Kanye but got more than they bargained for when his famous wife and made a last minute appearance with their daughter.
